510 Greenie Tribute

Post by benmcn »

About 15 years ago I purchased a Shopsmith bench assembly off of ebay. At the time I thought it would be a great place to store my Jointer and Belt Sander. The bench was a little rough so painted it with some gray paint which wasn't even close to being the right color. Later I thought the bench would also make a great out feed table for my Model 500 and so I picked up another 500 carriage and table. Of course that got me thinking that if I had another headstock I would have two Shopsmiths... and that's when I knew I was addicted. Eventually I acquired a new headstock and latter on a 510 table system for the bench assembly. Throughout this upgrade process the original gray paint I used on the bench assembly has bugged me. Recently I had a little extra time so I decided to do a little cosmetic work on this machine. In addition to a new paint job I added a longer heavy duty cord and premium casters. For what is worth, my daughter says she likes this color the best.

Although it's a "C" headstock and 510 Table System your Greenie looks good. Goldies are pretty sharp looking colors too. :D
